The Veterans' Plan

For the second time in the week, the boys found themselves in the onsen despite their initial defiance. 

They didn't plan it again. 

However, it seemed like Coach Wu Xei's regimen truly did them dirty, as all of them were limping as they entered the water. 

This time, they were all silent. They didn't even have the strength to call each other out for coming to the onsen once again. 

Kai sighed in relief as the hot water soothed his aching muscles right after soaking in the ice bath. The others also visibly relaxed, closing their eyes as they enjoyed the feeling. 

It was a good thing they were the only ones there…or maybe Kai had thought too soon. 

Not long after the thought occurred, the door opened from the other side, and familiar voices filled the space.
